Yes...the messed up Smart Deploy system in bush is showing us all how skilled you DMG players are.

I need to pop off to the doctors. My sides are hurting too much at how you described a broken game mechanic as "Getting REKT"

If I started DUST this week as opposed to having started about two years ago there is simply no way I would stick with it. All this talk about improving NPE seems a little pie in the sky to me. The SP gap is becoming insurmountable, the learning curve is massive, and the shooter mechanics are wonky and temperamental. Improvements to the tutorials and EOM salvage aren't going to address any of the real underlying issues.

I'm going to biomass this 27m character and start over tomorrow.

I believe they're referring to freshly new players, not low sp players who have prior experience of the game

Primarily, yes. People need to keep in mind that a lot of gamers simply aren't gluttons for punishment. A lot of casual players just want to have fun and aren't motivated by competition alone. Not everyone wants to put up with all the rage inducing aspects of DUST. Yes, I find this game gratifying, and yes that makes me somewhat masochistic.

I was showing a friend this game, and when he was starting out in the academy we had both agreed that the other newberries played as if they had never played an FPS in their lives.

waste of time thread

Yeah, I've noticed that also when I played in academy

I sucked pretty bad when I started this game, Copharus, and I'm not sure you'd enjoy going up against me now.

We all have to start somewhere, and Dust, compartively speaking, is both difficult to play/understand and there's a huge gap between noobs and vets.

What that has to do with the OP -- which is, essentially, a squad of advanced and proto suits camping a bugged uplink/spawn -- is beyond me....so perhaps you can explain.

12+ people got Rekt, that is all...You're welcome

cough cough you still suck.

Htfu or play cod.

They didn't hack anything but the main objective (and they rarely even did that). Though I wouldn't blame them too much if they didn't know what the secondary objectives did.

Let us know how it goes

Why do new players suck so much? Its like they never played a video game before in there lives.

That video was hilarious 10/10.

And they suck because they're probably used to 3 shot kills, maybe a bit more and getting used to hit scan and strafing. Then add gear benefits on top, lack of map knowledge and not being in a squad of vet buddies.

They get owned in pretty much any game really.

Just to say... imagine being a new player in this game ^^

I can tell you how that goes:

You need to wait 10hrs to biomass...

You need to wait 10min to de biomass when a gamemaster is on...

It doesn't matter, so go ahead.

You may get a better local chat though and the gamemasters can put you in an EVE starter corp which can be funny...


Considering the OP:

DMG squads tend to be pretty pathetic!

Most of them run proto quite a lot, and rave abut their achievements in pub games, which is really funny, what an achievement to wreck noobs with your proto kit and 50+ mil SP... I'll give you guys a generous pat on your back!

On the other hand, they cry and rage like babies, when they face the newest scrub "tactic" in pubs, and thats q-synced proto squads on the opposing side... suddenly the opponent is unfair and scrubby and whatever... I'ts a real Kindergarten out there...

This gets so annoying, that I had to guit that ****, I run on my own or with the guys I run since a long time with, or I just don't play , because this game is not good. It just drags you back in for another grind for another skill, but so far it never delivered on the promises that so many of us fell for:

Giant battles (16v16 lol)
loads of different racial vehicles (Amarr Min lolololol)
Loads of different Maps (ok, they try, but where is the min cargo hub?)
PVE (The one thing that would give noobs a chance to grow before they get slaughtered by the lolvets)

And finally a meaningful Dust EVE connection (this will never happen, because you know, EVE players don't want their **** blown up by F2P players)

So what is Dust good for?

The social part is pretty much the only thing, that can be fun at times. It can also be highly annoying and a reason to just switch the game off!

EDIT: And yes that's me shooting a Freedom Specialist MD at those poor sods trapped in the glitched spot... PATHETIC!

Hey, soryy to see you go. All this is in this video is a glitch that can happen to anyone. We happened to be on the right side of the glitch and caught it on camera and I made a stupid get rekt video is all. It's not meant to say how good we are or anything, just a standard internet joke these days. Hope to see you in game soon bro :)

The SP difference is the main problem.
I recently made three brand new toons (moslty to farm components if that's possible in the future). These brand new characters suck to play, even if you run in a vet squad. If you run with your buddies in proto gear, you'll get mostly assists. If you run on your own, you get owned. There are situations where you can get OKish results, but that's very rare.

If you are new to the game, the perspective of getting owned for at least 3-4 month is not very promising at all.

So as long as the noobs don't get their own gamemode, that takes out all characters with more than 5 mil sp, and another one, that takes out all but the ones with 5-10mil sp, we will have no increase in playerbase whatsoever.

It's just no fun at all, to get constantly owned by lolvets, who think that their kdr has anything to do with skill (yes it has, but that's skillpoints bra')!

It is an issue though.
